Gowon Stole Half Of CBN – UK Parliament Member Says (Video)

Gowon stole half of CBN, a UK parliament member has said.

OnyxNews Nigeria reports that a former Nigerian Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, has been accused of stealing half of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) by a member of the United Kingdom parliament.

The UK parliament member made the allegation against Gowon on Monday, November 23 during the House deliberation on after the EndSARS protest, and possible sanctions to be meted on top Nigerians regarding the roles they played in the killing of unarmed protesters at the Lekki toll gate.

The UK parliament member said: “What we are seeing in Nigeria today is part of that story. It is a tragedy we are all witnessing because we see things falling apart.

“The problem this time is not foreign pressure known as colonialism. The pressure instead is corruption and violence and attempts at control (of power).

“We need to call out the corruption, we need to use the powers that we have in this country to stop those who are profiting from the wealth of that great nation and hiding it here.

“Now some people will remember when general Gowon left Nigeria, he took half of the Central Bank, so it is said, and moved to London.

“We know today, even now in this great city of ours, there are sadly some people who have taken the wealth of Nigerian people and hidden their ill-gotten gains here.

“We know that our banks sadly have been used for that profit or that illegal transfer of asset and that means that the UK is in a unique position in being able to actually do something to really exert pressure on those who have robbed Nigerians,” he said.

Below is the video of the accusation against Gowon, watch…
